Stonecrop Interesting Notes

From Ewald Hugin of Germany comes this 1991 introduction...a hybrid seedling (S. 'Atropurpureum' x S. 'Autumn Joy') that appeared in his garden. In 1998, it was awarded the prestigious Outstanding Perennial Award from the International Hardy Plant Union. In German, "matrone" means a "lady of well-rounded form"...alluding to the robust nature of the sedum. - Plant Delights Nursery

Sedum 'Matrona' Growing and Maintenance Tips

Prefers average to dry, well-drained soil in full sun. Intolerant of wet soils. Propagate by seed and cuttings, although division seems to be the easiest for most. Excellent as a perennial border, in rock gardens, or in mass plantings.
